UPDATE: Lindsay Berschauer, who works with conservative activist Rob Kremer, has announced that she will seek the Republican nomination for the House District 26 seat.

Berschauer, 31, is director of the Oregon Transformation Project, which promotes conservative policy solutions. Kremer is one of the leaders of the project and is also treasurer of a political action committee of the same name that has been heavily involved in the Clackamas County commission races.

Wingard, under fire after being accused of sexual misconduct by a young aide, announced earlier this week that he would not seek another term. His troubles mounted Thursday when the aide, Samantha Berrier, went public with her story and her attorney said another young woman also claimed that Wingard had given her alcohol when she was underage.

Precinct committee workers in the district will meet at 6 p.m. in the Wilsonville Library on Monday, July 9 to choose a new Republican nominee. The Democratic nominee, Wynne Wakkila, a retired accountant for the Washington County Sheriff's Office, said in a press release Thursday that she's received several small contributions from donors around the state for her campaign in recent days.
